Found one at a local gun shop today. I love the hogue stock and the balance of the gun. Needless to say I picked it up. I'll give some feedback after I get a chance to visit the range with it. I've got some loads that should go thru it well.

I got it for 970.00. Havn't had a chance to shoot it yet but it sure shoulders nice. I mounted a revenge varmint range finding scope on it. If all goes well I can put a few rounds down range this weekend.

Took it to the range today and the only word I can think of is amazing. Accuracy and function was flawless. I can't get over how it feels shouldered. This is going to make a great varmint and practice rifle.

But it is a nice gun. My buddy has one. It shoots well under .75 MOA. We even got some handloads under .5 MOA out to 400 yards consistently in 5 round consecutive groupings. My only problem is that a comparable shooting Savage will shoot just as well, for $300 less. But it won't feel as nice, that is for sure.

Barrel is likely made by same group of manufacturers. Savage action is way more full proof, more forgiving to larger selection of loadings. QC on build are identical, Savage may be better given FNHs track record with other guns. Accuracy same, feel worse, price WAY less.

There really is only one reason to have the FNH, which is you just are partial to the company. Which is perfectly fine.

You bring up good points.

I am not partial to FNH USA. They have 100% screwed up great things about their company, as most mfg's have, at some point. I was speaking mainly off the tongue; I do not have shooting experience with the TSR, so I can't really speak on the matter. I have shot many Savages.

Is that a pun?

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
Shoot more, worry less.
